Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a system-only font and compare startup behavior before and after the update. Check whether the /usr/share/fonts:ro or /run/host/fonts:ro overrides cause the freeze; done means system fonts are available in VS Code with ligatures and the app starts normally.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Happened after an update yesterday. The font was installed only in the system, not in user ~/.fonts. It has ligatures, and it is enabled in settings.json.
Before an update, system fonts were working in a Flatpak. With ligatures and everything.
Now even when I try adding an override for filesystem to /usr/share/fonts:ro or /run/host/fonts:ro, the app refuses to open because it freezes on startup.
Do you know why that could've happened?
